Look behind you Mr. Vidal

Gore Vidal Looking For Racists

Calling a black dude nigger will likely get you punched in the nose; I have no problem with that. I also think it's time that people who call people "racist," because they disagree with them, ought also expect to be punched silly.  Even if you are the 85 year-old darling of pin-head coffee house liberals.  We're speaking of course about Gore Vidal, heard here in a "preview" interview. Here's what he had to say on the Republican Party: “ These are the small-town enemies of everybody. They just dislike everyone. They couldn't come out and say: "We don't want a black president" - we've finally got past that roadblock. So what they did was set out to slaughter the opposition party, the Democrats. Vidal's contention is that Obama's opponents, motivated by racism, have set out to discredit him: “ Repetition. They keep saying he's really a terrorist and they even deny he's black. He's obviously brown in some way - a vicious way - because we know what they are like; those are terrorists. Where did They keep saying he's really a terrorist come from?  I may have said it once, but poseur, illegal alien, liar, communist plant, Islamo saboteur, and  - did I say liar? - are all more to the point. Here's the precious part of this interview-ette. “ I should not in the least be surprised if there were a kind of dictatorship at the end of the road, which seems to be coming more and more quickly as we lose more and more wars. I agree with him on this point, but not for the reason he's thinking of; more like what  Mr. Jefferson had in mind.
